Private
rent data is from the Office for National Statistics’ Price
Index of Private Rents (PIPR). Scotland rents data are mainly for
advertised new lets. In-tenancy rental price increases in Scotland have
been capped since late 2022. Advertised lets are not subject to the
recent price cap, so the cap will be less reflected in these statistics.
This is likely to lead to over-estimation in stock prices and indices
for Scotland since late 2022.
Housing affordability uses the house price data
above alongside weekly median gross employee
earnings data from the Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings.

Earnings data
The charts show median gross earnings of employees (without adjusting
for inflation). Data is collected by the Office for National Statistics
each April via the Annual
Survey of Hours and Earnings. The statistics cover employees only
and exclude self-employed earnings.
Data is available on a council-area level, but not on Scottish
Parliament constituency or region level. This page includes council
areas that are within or overlap with the selected Scottish Parliament
region.
Gaps in the data reflect missing values, usually due to small sample
sizes.

Labour market data
Employment rate - The proportion of 16-65 year-olds
who are employed or self-employed
Unemployment rate - The proportion of 16+ year-olds
who are currently unemployed, i.e. they are looking for work
Inactivity rate - The proportion of 16-65 year-olds
who are currently not employed or self-employed and are not actively
looking for work.
Employment and Inactivity data is updated quarterly by the Office for
National Statistics via the Labour
Force Survey. The shaded areas and error bars show measurement
uncertainty (the 95% confidence interval) where available. Missing data
is shown as gaps. Due to small numbers, constituency-level unemployment
rates are not available using this data source.
Unemployment (claimant count) estimates are updated monthly by the
Office for National Statistics via the nomis data portal.
This experimental series counts the number of people claiming
Jobseeker’s Allowance plus those who claim Universal Credit and are
required to seek work and be available for work.

Poverty data
The charts show child poverty estimates from the Children
in Low Income Families statistics. Data is collected annually by the
Department for Work and Pensions using administrative data and
calibrating it to official poverty statistics.
Local data is available down to a Data Zone level. Here, estimates
were aggregated to Scottish Parliament constituency-level.

SIMD deprivation

SIMD data
SIMD is the Scottish Government’s Scottish
Index of Multiple Deprivation, a measure which identifies local
areas where multiple deprivation is concentrated. The latest SIMD was
published in 2020. The next SIMD update is expected in 2026.
The charts show the area deprivation profile of each constituency.
Constituencies are made up of small areas with populations of 500-1,000
household residents called “Data Zones”, which are all ranked across
Scotland from most (rank 1) to least deprived (rank 6,976).
SIMD is based on a range of indicators in seven domains: Income,
Employment, Health, Education, Housing, Crime, and Access to Services (=
rurality).
The local share is the share of areas (Data Zones)
within the constituency that are among the most deprived 20% areas in
Scotland.
A local share of 0% means none of the Data Zones in this constituency
are among the most deprived 20% across Scotland. A local share of 0-20%
(in green) means that deprivation is less concentrated in this
constituency compared to Scotland overall. A local share of more than
20% (in purple) means that deprivation is more concentrated in this
constituency compared to Scotland overall. A local share of 100% means
all Data Zones in this constituency are among the most deprived 20% in
Scotland.
